The National Emergency Management Agency has provided Gombe State Government with relief assistance to support internally displaced persons from Adamawa, Borno and Yobe that are currently residing in the State as result of the state of emergency in the three states.

 

The Director General of NEMA, Muhammad Sani Sidi said, while presenting the relief items on behalf of Federal Government to the Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Hassan DanKwambo in his office that the items are meant to cater for the large number of internally displaced persons in the State as a result of current challenges in the neighbouring States.

 

Sani Sidi commended the Gombe State Government for the continuous support and collaboration with NEMA, and for allocating a befitting accommodation and storage facility to the Gombe operations office.   He assured that, more equipment will be deployed to enhance the operational capability of the office.

 

He appealed to the State Government to take the disaster risk reduction campaign by NEMA seriously especially with the 2013 annual rainfall prediction of NIMET and its implications for flooding.

 

While receiving the relief assistance, the Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Hassan DanKwanbo thanked Federal Government for its prompt response to the plights of the internally displaced persons who are residing in the State.
